Santorini's appeal is a trifecta of geology, mythology and modern design. The eruption of roughly 1600 BCE left a flooded crater ringed by obsidian cliffs, a natural amphitheatre pointed at the sunset, and pumice soil that gives the island's produce and wine an unmistakable salinity.

Luxury here is defined by access rather than price: to guest-only terraces when the cruise crowds arrive, to sommeliers pouring rare Assyrtiko reserves, to captains who know exactly where the light will land at seven in the evening.
